not awkward - stupid. republicans are morons. they just made one in an increasingly large number of mistakes.

there was a time when the republican party included intellectuals. nixon - for all his faults - wasn't a dumb man. but now the GOP is controlled by mouth-breathing apes like louis gohmert, michelle bachmann and steve king. they're idiots and they're making policy. the fact that this policy is contradictory and unworkable is a natural byproduct of a party run by dunces.

Well. Of course. They're not trying to get rid of Obamacare because it's bad, they're trying to get rid of it because it's good.

("Good", in this case, is relative).

The last thing they want is something working out well for Joe average citizen that is a product of the Democrats.

If it was truly bad for the country, they'd be hands off and let the mess be placed at the feet of the Democrats. The effort they've been putting in to trying to kill it is testament to just how frightened they are that people will like it when it's full implemented and understood.

Next up. Republicans refuse to acknowledge job gains due to ObamaCare.

There have been job gains due to Obamacare? Got a source for that?

Notice how I said "next up"? That implies something coming in the future. But just how DO you think we will handle another 10-30 million people seeking health care? No hiring for nurses at all (one of the most in demanc jobs)?

I have several family members that work for one of the national health insurance companies; in anticipation of health care reform they have trained and hired 200+ people for their call centers alone since the Supreme Court upheld the law.

This is a new set of products that is being sold directly to consumers, that requires additional employees in all sectors to implement.

We haven't hired in years but we are now - specifically because of all the IT business the ACA will bring us.

During an appearance on ABC's "This Week," Van Hollen, the ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee, said Republicans owe the public an explanation for how they can regularly vote to get rid of the Affordable Care Act -- they have now because of Obamacare savings.

Well, Chris, it's quite simple, you see. They have to work with the numbers as they stand. Also, the bogus "projected revenue" from Obamacare is questionable at best. Finally, the costs of Obamacare still out-weigh any revenue. In short, you've got nothing. But I'm sure the libs and dems will uncritically parrot your talking point, so, there's that.

Look at the right's beloved St. Ronnie. Reagan had a talent for making policies that would fark over anyone who's not rich as hell sound like they'd be awesome for everyone. A moron like Ted Cruz, on the other hand, has a talent for getting the teabagger base all herpaderped up, but he can't really appeal to or convince anyone not in his echo chamber about his ideas.

While it wouldn't keep every aspect of the health care law in place, the budget authored by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) does rely on Obamacare's $716 billion in cuts to Medicare and maintains its $1.2 trillion tax increase.

Next up. Republicans refuse to acknowledge job gains due to ObamaCare.

Not net gains. But make no mistake, Obamacare is a huge government program, thus it will "create" jobs that aren't needed in the first place. This will make it more difficult to repeal, as BOB and dems have tied jobs to the legislation.

What does this have to do with your vibrator? Seriously, you mention it in every thread. Do you just shove it up your ass and keep it running while you post in these threads? How many batteries do you go through in a typical week?

Oh come on. Everyone knows that if they defeat Obamacare, St. Ronnie will rise from the dead, bless the multitudes of True Conservatives, and usher in a golden age of no taxes, limited government and right wing bliss.

Yay! Let's make the government so large that it affects every aspect of our lives! Wooo-hoo!

/ I don't understand why dems and libs want the government, literally, up their asses.
